Storage for Videography and Film Production Companies in Central London

Any business owner that operates in London will know that it’s difficult to find an affordable workspace. That’s why many companies use their homes to work and store their equipment. It reduces the overheads from renting a commercial warehouse or office, which are extremely pricey in London. However, depending on the type of business you run, this can put your equipment at risk.

For videography and film production companies, the value of each piece of equipment is costlier than most SMEs in other sectors. One high-quality camera can cost thousands, making it vital that they don’t sustain any damage or theft. Although most companies will have some level of contents insurance, it doesn’t always provide the cover people expect.
